Have Herpes. Test Report Was Negative. Never Had Outbreak. Could The Test Be Wrong?
Question: I have been with my husband 10 years and only with him I found out I have herpies 1 and 2 I suspected he was cheating from vaginal infections I kept getting. I was tested at any lab test now and when I got the results I confronted him. He still cheated after that and then he was tested at the health dept. He told me today that he was negative how is that possible? I have never been unfaithful. I have never had a outbreak or anything like that could his test be wrong? If I had it for 10 years how could I not pass it to him?
